Wow!!!!! I found myself overcome with emotion!! This is an amazing family and I applaud this young man for courage and bravery!! You are a true inspiration to so many teens and even some adults for sharing your testimony in such a public way!!!! My family did not have that reaction, in fact I'm not close to my family emotionally anymore!! I love them, but things will never be the same!! My hopes are to create a family of my own and never judge them for who they are!! To be the parent, your mother is to you now!! Much Continued Blessings, JB

This is touching and beautiful! Unfortunately my mother turned into Satan himself when I told her. She called me every evil name known to man and this went on for two days. Everything possible there is to say to emotionally destroy a child she said it! Today she is a frail old woman that I am doing my best to take care of. Though I will never forget the sheer evil in her eyes and the satanic words she spew I carry on. I only say this because its not nice for everybody but seeing something like this video comforts those of us who did not have it so well. Kudos to both this young man and his unconditionally loving mom!

JC, I can totally understand and appreciate your journey!! My entire family turned into homophobic monsters and terrorized me for decades. It was their hope that it would scare from being gay and never coming out!! Well, dammit I'm out and their are out of my life!!

I hope alot of people see this and are brave enough to go to there parents and come out too them, I also hope there are alot of parents who see this and learn and know that it is ok to have a gay child and to support them throughout their coming out.

Great video! Both son and mother wonderful. I came out to my mother face-to-face in the living room of our home when I was 18. No big deal, but that was in 1970. I am 61 now. My mother was wonderful in a time when my friends were being disowned, kick out, left with nothing. And I mean nothing. The overwhelming fear of rejection by a parent is powerful. Regardless of the venue chosen to come out, or the vehicle, it takes real, gut courage. Bravo Daniel. Every blessing on your life.

Is it really necessary to make a production out of coming out. I think this kid knew exactly how his mom was going to react or else he never would have posted this to YouTube. I believe it was purely for attention, lately we've been seeing a bunch of these videos with these supposedly nervous or scared boys who come out on video and the resctions from their mother's are "surprisingly" loving and super supportive I think these videos are kinda fake and purely for attention. My opinion it may not be yours but I'm entitled to it.

There is no limit or restrictions on love. Period. If this video helps even one scared boy or girl who wants to come out to their parents or loved ones or friends, then it has accomplished its goal. You are entitled to your opinion but no one is making you watch these videos. If you want conflict, go find it somewhere else. There are plenty of hate in this world.

This is a great example of an awesome parent. I wish that I had as much courage as Daniel when I was a teen but it just wasn't accepted back then. These two are both amazing people and I hope his dad is as accepting as his mother.
